Definition

If you have set the 'Date string' indicator, the system interprets and calculates the dates entered in the value date fields from the spot value date and not from the contract conclusion date when you enter foreign exchange or currency options.

Example:

The contract conclusion date is 03/08/YYYY.

  1. You have not set the 'Date string' indicator.

    The entry '+2' calculates the 03/10/YYYY for currency pair EUR/USD.

  2. When you set the indicator, the system calculates the 03/12/YYYY (spot value date = 03/10/YYYY + 2 working days).

Note: The spot value date is usually 2 days. In Customizing for Basic Functions in Treasury choose Define Leading Currency to enter a different value for each currency pair if the spot value date is not 2 days for this pair.
